In 2018, the IPCC Special Report on 1.5C On their own, our greenhouse gas emissions would have caused a much higher warming, were it not for the masking effect of aerosol pollution. Similarly, the 1.5ºC goal in the Paris Agreement is not a betting game of where we will end up with maximum temperatures. Chapter 2, Table 2.SM.12,

Scientists used satellite data of ship tracks and climate models to estimate that, globally, changes in low-level clouds due to human-caused (anthropogenic) pollution has a cooling effect that is equivalent to about 25-33% of the anthropogenic warming caused by greenhouse gases , or approximately 1 Watt of energy per square meter.

Methane is essential to control, since stabilizing climate requires reducing all anthropogenic greenhouse-gas emissions to net-zero. Methane also has indirect effects on heating, due to chemical interactions by which methane changes the levels of other greenhouse gases. And more methane initiatives are surely on the way.

For example, the ongoing debate over the impact of certain pesticides in agriculture , greenhouse gas emissions are often a battle between the science and industry's attempts to muddy the science and government lobbying to roll back legislation (2). Typically used in conjunction with “greenhouse gas” but some emissions are not GHGs.
